The Web Blocker: Block Websites Using Read-Made Category Templates

With billions of webpages, parental control on the internet usage of young kids is a big issue. Many parents are concerned about not knowing what their kids are watching or reading on the internet when they are alone. Other than that, it is very easy to get distracted from the work at hand. It starts with you opening a random link on YouTube or Facebook, and ends with an hour or two wasted before you even realize that you haven’t finished your work. Some months ago, we covered a very good web based parental control application called Qustodio, that allowed you to easily block websites and keep track of your kids’ online activities. Today, we have another website blocker for you called The Web Blocker that lets you block selected websites, and also provides you with built-in templates to block a certain category of websites, such as Social Networking, Adult Material, Games, Videos etc.

The Web Blocker allows you to block the website for all users, as well as for individual users of the computer, depending on your requirement. During installation, make sure that you uncheck the Babylon toolbar installation offer to avoid spam.

When you start the software for the first time, it asks you to create a password which will be used for entering and editing the program settings every time. Enter the Email address, Password, select other required information and click OK.

To block a website, first select a user from the list for whom you want to block the website. Then, under Add Address to Block List, enter the address of the website you want to block and click Block Address.

Or you could just setup OpenDNS on your router and then you can block sites on every device on your network. Easier than installing software everywhere. 😉

Absolutely better, this software is a little bit amateur, it simply writes the Site’s URL to c:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts together with it’s own website’s IP so that you get redirected to his ads and he earns from it. There is no need for a whole installation of software and its long stories, etc. etc.

Also, the password is not even encrypted, simply hidden in the program’s program file folder.
